What's New?

Saturday, 20 January 2018

Each year when January comes along and hits us right in the face, everyone tends to develop certain expectations of themselves from the offset - 'I'll eat better, I'll exercise more, I'll save money, I'll travel a lot this year' - but 9/10, our January doesn't tend to start off on such a promising foot. If anything, it will take me a good two weeks post-Christmas celebrations to even think of concentrating on one of those things, let alone all of them - though this year has been quite a lot different.

It always gets to this time of year - after a few too many gins' - and everyone turns slightly sentimental and reflects on the year gone by. This year has absolutely flown by and a lot has happened in 2017, both good and bad. More personal posts like these were some of my favourite to write, and have proven to be the most popular among readers - so I thought, what better way to end 2017 on a positive note than to list 50 of the things I'm most thankful for.

With summer well and truly over and the festivities about to kick in, it's time to start thinking about those destinations perfect for visiting when its a little chillier. Most people say holidays are made for the summer time - but seriously, how wrong are they? Some of my most favourite and memorable breaks have been during the winter months. There is just nothing better than getting tonnes of layers on, grabbing a hot drink and exploring a new place in the snow. Not to mention, its also considered low-season for most cities so it'll be a lot lighter on your pocket.

Since having just over 3 months away from blogging, this feature was one that I was most looking forward to bringing back. Beside my love of posting over on Instagram, I like to feature unseen snippets at the end of every month which I purposefully leave for this particular type of post.

When you think of the typical breakfast in a European country, you think cold meats, cheese, hard boiled eggs - not in Berlin. The first meal of the day is the most important for Berliners and I think that's partly the reason why I loved the place so much. Most places to eat are super laid back, casual, healthy and relatively low priced. For me, the power of Instagram is a vital tool for when I want to discover the best eateries and cocktail bars in new cities. It's also where I found every single restaurant on this list.

Tis the season! Am I allowed to say that yet? It’s mid November and I spent my Saturday baking Christmas cookies and watching The Polar Express with my brother, am I ok? This week I’ve officially began getting giddy for Christmas so I’m bringing you a festive inspired cookie recipe, but it’s a little bit naughtier than the usual raw recipes I feature on here. Guilty.
